How to Find the Surface Area of Prisms

Miacademy & MiaPrep Learning Channel

This educational video provides a comprehensive guide on understanding and calculating the surface area of prisms. It begins by defining surface area using a clear analogy—wrapping paper versus the contents of a box—to distinguish it from volume. The video introduces the concept of prisms, identifying their components such as congruent bases and lateral faces, and explains that surface area is a two-dimensional measurement expressed in square units.
